INSET: Navigating 21st-Century Security Challenges

In today’s rapidly evolving world, security threats are increasingly shaped by technology, disinformation, and cyber risks. INSET (Critical Studies in Intelligence, Technologies, and Security Governance) equips individuals with the skills to understand and address these challenges through a transdisciplinary approach.

Recent crises—COVID-19, the Crimea conflict, and large-scale disinformation campaigns—have highlighted gaps between public institutions, private security actors, and the public. Technology has further intensified security threats, from ransomware and data breaches to targeted disinformation fueling polarization and extremism. Meanwhile, intelligence and security professionals must also tackle climate change governance and technological solutions.

INSET prepares you to:

  • Analyze how technology and hybrid threats shape security and intelligence.
  • Understand and counter disinformation and cyber risks.
  • Develop solutions for climate security and global policy monitoring.
  • Bridge the gap between institutions, private actors, and society.

If you’re ready to tackle the complex security landscape of the 21st century, INSET provides the knowledge and tools to make an impact.

The CINTEL course programme and study units presented on this website were prepared as part of the work for INSET, an EU-supported programme under the Commission’s Erasmus Mundus Design Measures (EMDN) scheme. The CINTEL programme presented in this website is currently undergoing the different formal validation processes required within the partner Universities and therefore, as yet, is not formally finalised or approved and is  thus not open for registration of students. It is the intention of the INSET consortium partners to use part or all of the contents of this website to eventually submit an application for an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) course. Should such an application be successful and once the contents of the EMJM course are agreed between, and formally validated within, the partner universities this website will be updated with instructions as to when, where and how registration would take place.
